What’s happening in the Monastic Community?
EXCITING NEWS! For the first time in
22 years, the Priory Monastic Community will be welcoming a new permanent monk! It is with much joy to welcome Father Matthew Leavy, O.S.B. to Priory! Father Matthew, the former Abbot, comes from Saint Anselm Abbey and has an abundant history with Priory. We are thrilled with the arrival of Father Matthew in August!
Father Maurus was honored for 55 years of service to the Priory at the Faculty/Staff Luncheon.
Bidding Farewell to Father Pius
Priory held a Mass of Christian Burial in the chapel for Father Pius on Saturday, June 30. Hundreds
were in attendance to say goodbye to one of our
most beloved monks. Father Pius had been battling declining health for several months, yet still managed to attend the graduation ceremony for the Class of 2018. He will be interned in his hometown of Izsa, Slovakia with his parents.
